Manual Rotatory Microtome 0.5-60µm

The manual rotary microtome is a laboratory instrument designed for obtaining ultra-thin sections of biological samples, allowing the precise preparation of tissues for microscopic analysis in histology, pathology, and scientific research applications. Its operating system, driven by a flywheel, ensures controlled sample advance, providing uniform and reproducible cuts even in materials of different consistency.

The equipment allows working in a thickness range between 0.5 µm and 60 µm, with adjusted increments that facilitate adaptation to different cutting protocols. This capacity makes it suitable for both paraffin-embedded samples and harder materials, offering versatility in multiple applications.

Its robust structure incorporates a wide base that ensures stability during operation, reducing vibrations and improving cutting precision. The clamping system includes options for different types of disposable blades and conventional blade holders, allowing the equipment to be adapted to different work needs. Furthermore, it has safety guards that cover the edge when not in use, increasing operator protection.

The positioning mechanism allows the blade inclination to be adjusted in a range from 0° to 12°, optimizing the cutting quality according to the material characteristics. The sample holder incorporates adjustable orientation, ensuring precise alignment between the specimen surface and the blade edge.

The flywheel integrates locking systems that allow fixing the position of the sample holder during maintenance operations or blade changes, improving the safety and control of the equipment. It also includes a cut counting system that facilitates the monitoring of the work performed.

This microtome is a reliable and precise solution for laboratories that require a high level of control in sample preparation, combining mechanical robustness, operational versatility, and cutting accuracy for applications in research, diagnosis, and advanced training.
